We have had a wonderful few weeks. It has been busy but full of family and summer fun. We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on June 8th. Since both of us were leaving the morning of the 8th, we celebrated on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. We went to some fun places where we went when we were dating. Sadly, the picture of the arboretum with all three of us didn't work out (silly camera!) but the one with Dave and Bailey did work out, so that is what you see. Afterwards we were able to go do sealings at the Houston temple (I recommend this to anyone celebrating an anniversary) and then went to dinner and a movie. It was a busy but super fun day.

One of our favorite burger places to go was Southwells. It is really yummy. We went there often.

We were going to visit the Bishop sign where Dave proposed and I was going to talk of how "sweet" our love is but it was too far out of the way. Another time I guess.

This is Dave's old apartment and this is where we first kissed. I gave him a big bag of hugs and kisses! This is our church building we went to when we were dating. There are a lot of fun memories at this building.

This is the arboretum where we had our first "DTR".

Then Bailey and I went to Utah for a week. That was a blast. We were going non-stop but we sure had a good time. Bailey did well with all of her aunts, uncles, and grandparents, and she especially loved her nieces. Sadly once again, my camera was funny so I only got a few pictures. If you are interested in seeing more go to Sherri and Dave's blog. Thanks Sherri, I can always count on you getting great pictures. You are a life saver.

Grandma J. and fun tubby time in the sink.

Aunt Hezz and Bailey. She loved all of her aunts and uncles.

This past weekend Mom and Dad Jackman were here. Despite the super hot weather, we had a great time. Friday we enjoyed BBQ and games on our back patio. I think we killed at least a dozen June bugs-gotta love it! Saturday, we went to the zoo and made it through about 1/3 of it. I guess it will take three trips. We also celebrated Grandfather's Day on Saturday. Thanks for the fun weekend.

She was quite tired at the zoo but did a great job. It was super hot, I think that is what made us all so tired.

Grandpa Jackman is known for his crazy toes. He is always picking things up with them and handing things to people in his toes. He tried to teach Bailey the trick of the trade and I think she may have some Jackman toes! Father's Day was a fun day to celebrate Dave. He is such a good dad. I asked him what he likes best about being a Dad and he said the kisses. Dave has taught Bailey to give kisses. It truly is the cutest thing. In the picture that is what she is doing although you cannot really tell. Bailey loves her dad so much. We both are so honored to be blessed with having Dave in our lives. Thank you honey for all you do.

Bailey got daddy some popsicle molds and a popsicle recipe book. We will definately enjoy those cool treats in this weather!

Also, Bailey is 9 months old today. It is crazy how fast time goes. We went to her doctor's appointment today and she is 28 1/2 inches tall (82%) and 18lb. 2.5 oz. (30 something %), I guess she is still tall and thin! It is time to make a switch to a different car seat seeing as her feet touch the seat in the car. She is growing so fast but we are so blessed to have such a wonderful child. She is truly such a joy to us. We are reminded every day what a blessing she is to us.
